McNamara is dead

McNamara died today. A good comment describing him was made by Joseph Galloway: "McNamara was the original bean-counter — a man who knew the cost of everything but the worth of nothing."
McNamara was the architect of the Vietnam war, who decided to increase US involvement there in the 1960s.

It's amazing, but predictable, that the mainstream press still gets it wrong. So David Ignatius at the WaPo writes that "McNamara was a reluctant warrior, half in and half out"--a "reluctant" warrior, indeed, that's why he destroyed 3 countries in wars that led to the deaths of millions of people and still tens of thousands up to this day--not exactly "reluctant", and "fully in", not "half in".
